Alterations in Vibrio fischeri Motility Correlate with a Delay in Symbiosis Initiation and Are Associated with Additional Symbiotic Colonization Defects

Motility is required for Vibrio fischeri cells to interact with and specifically colonize the light-emitting organ of their host, the squid Euprymna scolopes. To investigate the influence of motility on the expression of the symbiotic phenotype, we isolated mutants of the squid symbiont V. fischeri...
